Abstract Most mixed-methods research designs rely on a specific combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches, tailored to the corresponding research problem in a single study. Often, these mixed methods designs are limited to a fixed sequence of qualitative and quantitative approaches (e.g., qualitative interviews followed by a survey or vice-versa). This limitation historically arises from time, costs and logistic restrictions. As an alternative, we develop an extension of the fixed mixed method designs by introducing a flexible feedback-loop so that more phases can be combined in a flexible order. In practice, such designs are only enabled within an information-communication technology environment, where on-line respondents are readily available for immediate participation. An online experiment, combining interactive series of web surveys and online focus groups, was performed to compare this approach with standard two-phase mixed methods designs. The costs, timing, results and experiences of researchers were systematically evaluated. The proposed approach proved to be very beneficial.
